SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM continued its participation in the test
at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Italy today with Sakon Yamamoto
behind the wheel. Sakon ran through the team’s planned
Italian Grand Prix preparation programme and completed a total
of 67 laps. Takuma Sato will run in the SA06 tomorrow when
he will conclude the test by completing the team’s tyre
programme.
Mark Preston, Chief Technical Officer
“SAF1 Team had a good day’s running and got into
the test programme in preparation for the Monza race. Sakon
ran through a number of tyre options, the new Monza aero specification
package and the normal brake testing required to run at this
circuit. I am generally happy with our progress and Takuma
will drive tomorrow to continue our tyre testing programme
and other set-up work. This is an important test for us as
this is the first time that we have been able to properly
prepare for a race. It is also the first time that Sakon has
been able to run the SA06 new front suspension. We are looking
forward to a productive final day tomorrow.”
